1 Samuel 17:41-54 - David Defeats Goliath

⁴¹ And he of the rovers going, went and drew near to David; and the man lifting up the shield before him. ⁴² And he of the rovers will look and will see David, and he will despise him, for he was a boy, and red, with a fair aspect. ⁴³ And he of the rovers will say to David, Am I a dog that thou camnest to me with rods? and he of the rovers will curse David by his gods. ⁴⁴ And he of the rovers will say to David, Come to me and I will give thy flesh to the birds of the heavens and to the cattle of the field.

⁴⁵ And David will say to him of the rovers, Thou comest to me with a sword and with a spear and with a shield, and I come to thee in the name of Jehovah of armies, the God of the ranks of Israel, which thou didst upbraid. ⁴⁶ This day Jehovah will deliver thee into my hand; and I smote thee and took away thy head from off thee, and I gave the carcass of the camp of the rovers this day to the birds of the heavens, and to the beasts of the earth: and all the earth shall know that there is a God to Israel. ⁴⁷ And all this assembly shall know that not with sword and with spear Jehovah will save, for to Jehovah the battle, and he gave you into our hand.

⁴⁸ And it was when he of the rovers arose, and he will come and draw near to meet David, and David will hasten and run to the array to meet him of the rovers. ⁴⁹ And David will stretch forth his hand to the vessel and take from thence a stone and sling and strike him of the rovers into his forehead, and the stone will sink into his forehead; and he will fall upon his face to the earth. ⁵⁰ And David will be strong upon him of the rovers with a sling and with a stone, and he will strike him of the rovers and kill him, and no sword in David's hand. ⁵¹ And David will run and stand upon the rover, and take his sword and draw it from its sheath, and kill him and cut off his head with it. And the rovers will see that their mighty one died, and they will flee. ⁵² And the men of Israel and Judah will rise and shout, and pursue the rovers till thy coming to the valley, and even to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the rovers will fall in the way of the gates, and even to Gath, and even to Ekron.

⁵³ And the sons of Israel will turn back from pressing after the rovers, and they will plunder their camps. ⁵⁴ And David will take the head of the rover, and bring it to Jerusalem; and he put his utensils in his tent

⁵⁵ And when Saul saw David going forth to meet the rover, he said to Abner, chief of the army, Whose son this boy, Abner? and Abner will say, Thy soul lives, O king, if I knew.

⁵⁶ And the king will say, Ask thou whose son this youth.

⁵⁷ And as David turned back from striking the rover, and Abner will take him and bring him before Saul, and the head of the rover in his hand. ⁵⁸ And Saul will say to him, Whose son thou, O youth? And David will say, Thy servant the son of Jesse of the House of Bread.
